To all my Limerick friends and anyone I upset by tipping Galway I just want to say "I was wrong"! Every player, every partner, every Mam & Dad, every loyal supporter deserves the feeling of waking up this morning as All Ireland champions. Congrats to John and all his team.

What a game. The All Ireland Hurling Final was def worth watching. Full of passion, commitment, speed, excitement, physicality & it seemed not many rules either lol. Really enjoyed it. Last 5mins was frantic & nerve wrecking for both supporters thats for sure. Brilliant viewing

If O'Donovan doesn't get an all star this year at mid field it's a pure joke!! I would love to see his stats game to game broke down! Pure intelligence! #GALvLIM

Incredible day. Great performance for the lad again. Definitely deserved the win as they outfought & out thought Galway. Also Have limerick just won the best ever hurling championship??

What a win for LK! @DecHannon my MOTM! Completely dominated his area from start to finish! Mannion and Glynn were great again for Gal. Flanagan & Hayes also brilliant! #gaa

As today ends and tomorrow beckons, all of us in Galway GAA should reflect, even for one minute, to consider the privileged and joyous position we've been in, thanks mainly to the sacrifices and performances of all our amateur Players and Management Teams. @TheSundayGame

Congratulations to our neighbours @LimerickCLG, huge win after 45 years. Enjoy it all!

So much to love about that Limerick team and performance, but mainly hard work, playing for each other and never giving up, typified by Shane Dowling. Congrats, well deserved and the Cranberries belting out in Croker the cherry on top.

Well done Limerick. Your supporters were top notch
